4:00 pm
bulge, took down hitler. they were not going to be stopped by that sign. we leave you with that charge today. fair, balanced, and still unafraid. this is the fox report. i'll bill hemmer tonight for shepard. if you had trouble logging on today, you were not alone. error messages popping up on screens across the country. the president blaming the technic technical difficulties with hits. >> consider that just a couple of weeks ago, apple rolled out a new mobile operating system and within days they found a glitch, so they fixed it. i don't remember anybody
4:01 pm
suggesting apple should stop selling iphones or ipads or threatening to shut down the company if they didn't. >> like most government programs it's expensive, too much bureaucracy, and it's not like october 1st just came upon the white house. they've been planning for years to implement this, and, of course, it's not ready, and that's one of the reasons we wanted to post pope the whole thing for a year. >> house republicans also demanding that one-year delay to prevent a partial government sh shutdown. last night parts of the government did shut down but not the health insurance exchanges. ed henry is live from the white house. what are they saying on day one. >> they're saying there were glitches but they say it was due to intense traffic, signing up for insurance for the first time in some cases, and they say now that those numbers have been
4:02 pm
updated in well over 2.8 people have logged on to healthcare.gov to at least check this out. not every one of them, of course, signing up. you mentioned the president compared the to apple and the operating system. senator harry reid said it was first like google, when they opened up their search engine, it wasn't prepared for the dmarngsd it went down and then it got rolling. that's what the president hopes for. he hopes people will be impacted in a good way by this new law. he made clear the republicans need to accept this is now the law of the land. take a listen. >> shutting down our government doesn't accomplish their stated goal. the affordable caring at is a law that passed the house, it passed the senate. the supreme court ruled it constitutional. it was an essential ruling. it is essential, and it is here to stay. and because of its funding sources, it's not impacted by a
4:03 pm
government shutdown. >> reporter: one of the few pieces of the president's key agenda not affected by most of the federal government now being shut down, the president going on to say a much bigger deal than this government shutdown is on october 17th we have a second deadline which is when the nation will reach its debt ceiling. he warned today if there's not a deal on that, lit will not be just a government shutdown but an economic shutdown. >> 16 days away. what has the president been saying? >> for the past 48 hours the president said he'sleing to sit down with lawmakers and deal with a long-term deal, figure out the debt problem long term and yet he still hasn't sad sat down with those republican leaders in the last 48 hours or even the last couple of weeks to figure it out. instead the president today in the rose garden compared republicans to spoiled children. you have jay carney, the white house press secretary suggest that republicans are extorti extortionists and that's what
4:04 pm
led to a government shutdown. i asked jay carney how he expects to deal with the republicans when he's insulting them. >> why can't you rise above it. >> it's serious. >> serious, yes. >> again, we're not asking for anything from the republicans in congress in return for them fulfilling their fundamental responsibilities. raising the debt ceiling without drama or delay. >> without drama or delay. that may be wishful thinking. that's all we've seen in recent days, bill. >> ed henry working late today at the white house. also the house is working on emergency spending bills to undo part of the government shutdown. those bills would pay for the federal program and smithsonian. that would turn back on the national zoo zhao's began cam. the panda cam wept dark today. but they would veto any house bill calling them piecemeal and not a serious approach.
4:05 pm
the shutdown has forced about 800,000 federal workers to stay home without pay for now. so-called air traffic controller, food inspectors are on duty but their pay could be delayed. deliver duty members as well. the post office is open. you will get your mail. and the fed says they will keep paying social security and medicare and medicaid and benefits. what's the republican's strategy tonight, mike? good evening. > >> well, bill, good evening. 're taking the piecemeal approach. for example, making sure that america's war heroes get their benefits, making sure that american families visiting national parks and monuments are able to get in and do what they like to do. bottom line, a leading senate republican says it's blasting the leader for refusing to deal. >> it appear as what the senate
4:06 pm
democrats have done is decided to take their ball and go home. they said we're not going to negotiate, period, starting with when the request came over from the house today to go to congress. the senate said absolutely no. that's been the message consistently. >> as we take a live look at the house floor, some of the debate over these three emergency funding bills has been heated. democrats say it's time to fund the entire united states government. republicans arguing for these very specific bills. bottom line, many republicans believe there are aspects that the united states people absolutely love about the federal government and there are many departments and agencies they could care less about. bill? >> you touched on it. what are they saying it, mike. >> reporter: leaders on capitol hill are calling this game essentially. bottom line they are not supporting this effort by
4:07 pm
republicans and saying it's time to fund the entire government. >> some of the rabble rousers over here have said what they want to do is take little bits and pieces of the federal government, send something over to the veterans today, parks tomorrow, maybe security agencies tomorrow, and the next day, and this will go on for weeks. but what won't get funded, obama care. >> reporter: house democratic leader nancy pelosi says this national parks bill if you will is just a pawn, and the bottom line is the republicans are still trying to defund the president's health care law. >> so that's from the leadership. rank-and-file members, what are they saying tonight, mike? >> reporter: you flow, i've talked to many rank-and-file members both in the house and senate over the past 24 hours or so, and a lot of them feel this is going to go on for a while, this government shutdown. they're not feeling the heat to deal and bottom line a lot of
4:08 pm
the house republicans feel like the various offers they'd made to senate democrats have been reasonable. >> well, it's regrettable that after the house is repeatedly compromised, first we wanted to repeal obama care, there's no doubt about that. then we offered when that failed to simply defund it. that failed until we offered to delay it. and now all we're saying is if this law is such an amazing success story, if it's going to go forward, then surely senators and congressmen and other d.c. insiders should have to obey the law. >> reporter: congressman cotton, a freshman from arkansas, and many other conservatives are saying these and els for obama care and different groups are up fair so they're trying to get everybody to play by the same rules. bill? >> mike, thank you. some american heroes conq r conquered nazi germany and defeated the japanese. they were not going to allow a little shutdown to get in their
4:09 pm

4:15 pm
here's carolyn maloney. >> what are you ensuring to make sure a scam doesn't continue, that a complete fraud said he was a distinguished member of the cia and no one even bothered to check? it's almost the -- the incompetence is beyond belief. >> beale is facing up to 37 months in prison. he's dwroet be sentenced, bill. >> he said he was working for the epa or working for the epa, but how is the epa sclaping what happened? >> they say he was very convincing, living out an alternate life, ing to call from pakistan. they would later learn he was calling from his vacation home in massachusetts. here they want to call out gina mccarthy who should have known better. >> what is it going to take. i think we have no choice but to hear from administrator mccarthy.
4:16 pm
she was involved in this. she went to his retirement party. he didn't show up to work for years. >> yeah. the facts show he was absolutely absent from work about 2 1/2 years of 13 years he worked for the epa and he wasn't on any covert assignments. >> what a story that is. shannon, thank you. shannon bream in washington tournament. weapons inspectors on the ground in syria even as the deadly fighting continues around them nonstop. but the hardest part is yet to come, finding and destroying what might be the biggest chemical weapons arsenal the world has ever noun. that is next tonight inside the "fox report." when he was there 118 days. everything that you thought was important to you changes in light of having a child that needs you every moment.

4:19 pm
arriving in syria today. finally they're there. they're there to oversee the destruction of the country's stockpile of chemical weapons. experts say the inspectors will
4:20 pm
work over the next nine months finding and dismantling an estimated 1,000 tons. word is they'll do it using every means possible. of course, this comes weeks after the deadly chemical attack in the suburbs of damascus, an attack that killed thousands. they accused the syrians of using chemical weapons on their own people, all this amid the ongoing civil war which the u.n. says has killed more than 115,000 today. the "fox report's" chief correspondent jonathan hunt has the story. >> they arrived in damascus along with 14 united nations support staff. that means they're going to try to destroy syria's ability to
4:21 pm
make those weapons and to deliver them. they'll do some pretty destructive things to do that. for instance, they're probably going to smash some of their mixing equipment simply with sledgehammers. they're going to blow up some missiles. fill some shells with concrete so i that can never be used again. and they'll run some of the factory's machines without lubricant. that will, in effect, make the machines unusable. that is some low-tech method to get rid of deadly equipment. >> the far more difficult task is moving the chemical stockpiles. how does that work? >> yeah. that's the 1,000 tons of sarin gas, vn gas and mustard gas. that was the gas that was used in the attack on the outskirts of damascus on august 31st. they have given a list of some
4:22 pm
of the sights where the chemical weapons are stored, but these inspectors have to trust that list and go to all of those sites but then, of course, as well, bill, they have to verify there are no more secret sites. amid all of this, syrian officials, would you believe, bill, held a festival today to promote tourism in this country wracked by civil war, tourism in which the state department and u.s. has warned u.s. citizens not to go to because of the risk of kidnapping, terrorism, and murderer. a strange sight indeed, that tourism festival. >> it could be the most difficult job we've heard all day too. jonathan hunt with us tonight. teams of white house workers springing into action today to help americans sign up for the exchanges under obama care and today we followed some of those workers to get an inside look at some of the process and you might be surprised to find out what we found out tonight. the government shutdown as

4:29 pm
still down and asking people to call back tomorrow. the gich h the glitch has gotten them to hold off. >> as you know in many instances the system has crashed. i heard people say if you like dealing with the dmv or irs, you'll love dealing with obama care. >> there were similar oh kurpss across the country, bill. now obama care will help very poor and sick americans but it does so by increasing rates on others, especially the young and healthy who are needed to spread the risk. listen. >> they'll absolutely have the sharpest percentage increases because they will be subsidizing some of the more sick and older hoosiers that are going to be integrated into that pool. >> in fact, indiana is expected
4:30 pm
premiums to rise by 72% and neighboring states are just as bad. >> in madison, wisconsin, a 63-year-old is actually going to see an increase of 70% and a 21-year-old is going to see an astonishing 125% increase in their health insurance costs that and in ohio, officials expect an average premium increase of 41%, bill. >> um, wait a minute. because the math doesn't add up. why are you getting increases if the president said the prices would go down, jim? >> well, the problem is that obama care requires a long list of essential benefits to be included in every plan and as it turns out, bill, they're more skpenszive than what many people would buy on their own. listen. >> just because the government thinks that they should have an insurance product that has all sorts. >> that means the young will be paying more thain otherwise would, more than they may be willing to pay if that discouraging them from signing
4:31 pm
up. obama care will be left with an expensive problem. listen. >> the pool gets older and sicker and this process repeats itself until you've got an insurance pool that's very expensive to cover and insurance prices that really only appeal to older and sicker people. >> now, bill, that is known as a death spiral. so the con pumer glitches will essentially be fixed. the bigger question, of course, is whether the provisions of the law will actually work and at what cost. >> you're going to need to add that up. you're right. jim angle from washington, d.c. jim, guood to see you. aside from the technical glitches americans may face complex and potentially confusions options from signing up. that's why the white house says it's deployed a team of so-called navigators to help out. some going door to door today. fox news followed along with some of them and phil keating has that story. he's live in new york tonight. phil, what did you find they
4:32 pm
were doing? >> reporter: we found they were looking what they wanted the on options to be and would pull the trigger later. once you pick it, you've got to pay for it up front. so why pay today unwhen you can wait until december 15th deadline. the key to understanding the options are the navigators who help guide the uninsured people through multiple-tiered plan, different premiums, different financial premiums once the agency strikes. many are hispanic. that includes 600,000 hispanics in florida like this man who lost his health insurance when he was laid off. today on day one he met with a navigator at 9:00 a.m. i don't know. i have to weigh the options. is it going to cost me less or more or the same. i don't know. it's a new program. i'm just trying to find information for the program. >> many of ininsured don't
4:33 pm
understand a deductible or co-payment. so that's our job to help them understand what's available to them. >> reporter: and for a 40-year-old man like parilla in broward county, he can expect for the bronze plan to pay $156 a month or $229 a month if he opts for the gold plan, bill. >> this will be a levering curve. about the technical snafus, bill, how frustrating for those trying to signed up today? >> reporter: without a doubt, bill, it was frustrating. these were people who on day one were very eager, but for the most part, they all pretty much rolled with the glitches and went along with the flow, committed to return back to the healthcare.gov website at a later date. we met up with maggy fernandez at her office where she planned to show us her logging on, estimated and see her future health care options but after constantly being told by the computer to please wait due to the 350 million onpeople assessing healthcare.gov today,
4:34 pm
she quit. >> while i'm excited and eager to find out what options are available to me, it's not something that needs to be done today or tomorrow, so these things happen. >> reporter: pretty good attitude and she does intend to get her health insurance by the december 15th deadline. if you do not, of course, you face federal penalties, taxes, penalties, deductions in your tax refund, however you want to phrase it. the first year, next year, the penalty can be as high as 1% of your annual income and it goes up every year after that to coerce people to buy one of these plans. in 2016 it could be up to 2.5%. >> thank you, phil. as we reported today marks day one without pay for hundreds of thousands of government workers for now. keep in mind certain employees including border patrol officers and air traffic controllers went
4:35 pm
to work without any sign of a paycheck any time soon. and at scott eyre force base, the shutdown affects more than just these workers. >> reporter: this woman has run this man has run this convenience store. >> he was alone because we were running the country. >> reporter: a shutdown will cost him 20% or more. that's just the beginning. none of the 5,000 civilian on the base will be paid even though some will be working. >> none of them will be paid at this time. those that do work would be paid through congress retroactively afterward, but they will come to work and not be paid in the interim. >> losing all those employees for a significant amount of time will put a significant dent in the annual growth of the economy. in fact, there won't be any growth. it will be negative growth. >> the whole bprocess is very
4:36 pm
disruptive. are others distressed about it? i'm sure they are. >> senators and congress people, they need to go away. stocks took a tumble today leading up to the partial government shutdown, but today a different story. traders seemed to just shrug this one off. green arrows all the way around. look at that. the dow up 62. nasdaq up 46. that's more than 1% for the nasdaq. s&p up 13. rich edison is here. >> first off, when you look at the history of a debt ceiling fight or government funding fight, it's an accumulative effect. it takes a little more time to get into the economy. when you look at the next fight, jack lew within the last ten minutes sending another letter to congress saying only until october 17th will the federal treasury be able to pay u.s.'s bills and that's something investors are certainly
4:37 pm
concerned about. >> most of the investors are on the sideline because 17 days from now there could be a big market mover, and that's the debt ceiling. so that's what everybody's watching because if they don't get that together, that could be chaos in the bond markets. >> reporter: house republicans have yet to pass their first opening offer in the u.s. house. meanwhile the administration says they refuse to even negotiate over the debt ceiling, bill. >> we've got some history here. 1995, 1996. explain how the last government shutdown affected our economy, rich. >> reporter: sure. it happened in a couple of different areas, a couple of different times here. the end of '95 and again in early 1996. take a look what economic growth did in the country. it was at 3.5% before the first shutdown and then it slowed to 2.9%. first quarter of 1996 slowing to 2.6%. once that was all over, look at the growth, second quarter at
4:38 pm
7.2% and in the third quarter of 1996 it dropped to 3.8%. that's not what we're seeing right now in the country. >> we mention add big boon today for the tech-heavy nasdaq. what win the world was going on the there? >> reporter: all about apple. icann having dinner with ceo tim cook. they pushed for a stock buyback. that's very good news if you're a stockholder in apple because essentially what happens during a buyback is the company buys its stock back, it lessens the amount of stock out there, basically increases the price. invefrts like that. >> second time icann has been talking that way. thank you, rich. now, the drama in washington continues on the floor of the house at this moment. lawmakers trying to undo portions of the partial
4:39 pm
shutdown. we'll break down the house's latest moves there. plus, there's words one of the nation's most popular sporting events could become a shutdown casualty. really. we'll explain that next inside the "fox report" tonight. wout of landfills each year? plastic waste to cover mt. rainier

4:41 pm
she took an early spring break thanks to her double miles from the capital one venture card. now what was mrs. davis teaching? spelling. that's not a subject, right? i mean, spell check. that's a program. algebra. okay. persons a and b are flying to the bahamas. how fast will they get there? don't you need distance, rate and... no, all it takes is double miles.
4:42 pm
[ all ] whoa. yeah. [ male announcer ] get away fast with unlimited double miles from the capital one venture card. you're the world's best teacher. this is so unexpected. what's in your wallet? our coverage continues tonight on the health care exchanges. parts are up and running while parts of the federal government are still shut down. house lawmakers voting at this hour on three emergency bills, bills that would pay for veterans programs, pay for national parks and pay for the smithsonian in washington. analysts say they're dead on arrival in the senate if they've get there. on top of that a white house spokesman came out late today saying president obama would vee vioo veto if he had to. as we watch that picture on the screen, a.b. stoddard. good to see you.
4:43 pm
good evening. why don't we take it a step at a time here. first the shutdown. how long does it last? >> well, that's interesting, bill. in speaking with house republicans last night and again today, many of them were surprised that john boehner was willing to actually shut the government down. they didn't thing he would. they thought he'd walk right up to it and it would be short and sweet. today we woke up to a new reachlt conservatives are pushing him to stand -- hold the line here and possibly even continue this until the debt ceiling deadline of october -- somewhere between october 17th and october 24th, which is a very high-stakes gamble. >> it would appear that appears to be the strategy. in other words, why go for a deal now when you're going to have to negotiate again in 16 days, right? >> part of the problem, bill, is they never had a plan for this. shutting down the government is extremely unpopular, even with people who don't like obama c e care. now they don't have a plan for the debt ceiling and they're
4:44 pm
admitting it. that's dangerous job john boehner is playing. it's up to him at some point to give in. there are those who would be willing to pass a clean stop fund gap bill but keep it open where they could talk about the old rule, dollar-for-dollar cuts if you want to go up on an increase in the debt ceiling, you have to cut as many in spendings as obama care is implemented and goets through its implementation. talking about this and whether the government stays open and the piecemeal bills to keep the parks open is really not going to work for republicans, though that's what john boehner is saying today. he's saying let's stay on message. let's not back down. >> let's see how this unwinds. we're going to watch this play out. on obama care, based on the people you talk to at the white house, are they as confident privately as they expressed publicly today? >> no.
4:45 pm
the obama team was well aware after they passed obama care there was great fatigue and everyone wanted to put a negative experience behind them. they simply waited too long to resell this law, to try to change its perception, build its popularity, and get the implementation ready. they didn't do that. they had 33 states that rejected the exchanges. the federal government had to put 33 of them together before today. it's a very rough beginning. as you know, there's i.t.ishes and computer glitches and all sorts of problems but the biggest challenge, bill, is the concern that millions of healthy people don't come in to balance the risk and the pools as sick people run to get insurance for the first time. preems premiums will go up for everybody. out-of-pocket talks if we don't see an influx of young healthy people. if they hear about computer problems, they're not going to come in. we need them to come in early.
4:46 pm
>> we're going to watch that. that really is a critical part of this law and getting young people to buy into it so the math comes close to the way it was sold. a.b. stoddard. thank you for that. college sports taking a big hit because of the government shutdown. they're tell particularly suspending all sports at the service academies. that means the army, navy, air force. nay have to skip their games. some sports have already canceled games. of course if it happens the annual army, navy matchup in december can be canceled. the lawyers are reviewing the suspension to check if congressional funds actually pay for the sports. harsh words for iran's president today from the israeli prime minister. his warning to the world about the iranian charm offensive and how iran fired back. that's straight ahead when the "fox report" continues tonight from new york city. back in a moment.
